XRP Network Activity Plunges 50% What’s Driving the Crash?

Draft Title: "Analysis of the Causes behind the Decline in XRP Network Activity"
@Mark, please take on this topic. You have the best understanding of the trends related to XRP Network and associated altcoins. Please analyze the various factors thoroughly and draft an article.

All right.

Let's start the analysis.
What is the Reason for the Halving of XRP Network Activity?
The number of active addresses has plummeted from 202,250 on December 12 to 101,169 recently. This implies that XRP network activity has halved, which is the result of various factors. Firstly, the ongoing overall market slump has resulted in poor performance for Bitcoin and many altcoins, which in turn has affected XRP.
Secondly, the lawsuit between Ripple and the SEC is still ongoing, creating legal uncertainty that induces anxiety among investors and weakens investment sentiment. This has led to a decrease in enthusiasm for purchasing XRP. Additionally, an analysis of large-scale transaction data has detected selling movements among some whales, contributing to the decrease in network activity.
In the blockchain industry, the emergence of new competitors cannot be disregarded. Alongside XRP, the arrival of various new coins has drawn the attention of investors to alternatives.
The price of XRP also cannot be ignored. Over the past 30 days, the price of XRP has fallen by 33.01%, and even within a 24-hour period, it has declined by 5.69%. The daily trading volume is estimated to be around 5.745,613,875.86 dollars.
The situation of the XRP network should continue to be monitored. Factors such as the outcome of the Ripple vs. SEC lawsuit, changes in market sentiment, and the emergence of new blockchain projects will all have significant impacts on the future of XRP.
Currently, XRP's fully diluted market cap is approximately 20,525,669,427.12 dollars, while its market cap is around 11,894,571,609.07 dollars.
